A better home starts
with a clear plan.
Bring your kitchen, bathroom or whole-home renovation together with Top Home Builders. Our team coordinates design, permit preparation and construction, so the layout you choose connects to the work needed to build it.
For an Irvine remodel, that planning can include HOA documents, City review, structural changes and decisions about living at home during construction. We help define the scope before those moving parts become jobsite problems.
Why choose Top Home Builders?
A remodel brings many decisions into one home. Our role is to connect those decisions, keep the work organized and make the next step clear.
One coordinated project
Design, selections, permit preparation and construction are planned together. That helps identify the effect of a wall change or fixture move before the work is priced and scheduled.
A project manager keeping work connected
Scheduling, trades, inspections and homeowner updates are coordinated through project management. You have a route for questions as the work progresses.
A scope you can review
We review the work, materials, assumptions and responsibilities before construction. A clear proposal gives you a better basis for discussing choices and changes.
Work and recognition you can explore
Browse our project galleries and company reviews alongside our Best of Houzz Service awards. See the work and hear from customers before deciding how to move forward.
What would you like to change?
You do not need a complete design to begin. Tell us what is not working, which rooms matter most and whether your project stays within the existing footprint.
Kitchen and bathroom remodeling
Start with the rooms you use every day. Kitchen work can bring cabinetry, lighting, appliances and circulation into a better layout. Bathroom planning connects waterproofing, ventilation, drainage, storage and fixtures before tile and finishes are selected.

When several rooms need work, decisions about flooring, electrical systems, plumbing and finishes often overlap. A coordinated renovation lets us plan these connections and discuss which areas will be available while construction is underway.

An added room or accessory dwelling unit starts with the property: available space, existing structure, utilities and the applicable review path. We coordinate the proposed construction with drawings and permit requirements before work begins.

Pool, patio, hardscape and landscape work can be coordinated with changes inside the home. Discuss drainage, access, lighting and the transition between indoor and outdoor areas as part of the initial scope.

City permits and association design review address different requirements. Confirm which apply to your property early, particularly for a condominium, addition or exterior change.
Check the HOA requirements
The City’s interior-remodel guidance calls for HOA design approval documents for condominium properties. Shared walls, floors and ceilings can also affect the drawings needed to explain the work.
Bring any association requirements or existing approvals to the consultation. This helps identify what must be coordinated with the design.
Irvine interior-remodel guidance ↗Identify the City submittal
A remodel, addition and ADU can require different application documents. The work may involve architectural plans, structural details and supporting forms, depending on the property and proposed changes.
Irvine uses the IrvineReady portal for electronic submissions. Confirm the current application package before drawings and documents are submitted.

For an addition, check property-specific setbacks, height, lot coverage and the required HOA documentation. Permit requirements and review timing depend on the project; the City determines approval.
What will your Irvine remodel cost?
A useful price starts with the work your home needs. A bathroom refresh, a kitchen with a new layout and a structural whole-home renovation involve different decisions and costs.
We begin with a property review and a defined scope. Ask how the proposal handles material allowances, permit responsibilities and changes discovered during construction.

Irvine remodeling questions
Do I need a permit for an Irvine remodel?
The permit path depends on the work. Structural changes, additions and work involving electrical, plumbing or mechanical systems can require permits and plan review. Review the proposed scope with the City’s current guidance before construction.
Does every remodel need HOA approval?
The requirements depend on your property, association and proposed changes. Irvine’s condominium-remodel guidance calls for HOA design approval documentation, and the City’s addition checklist includes HOA documents. Check your association’s rules early.
Can I remodel my kitchen and bathrooms together?
Yes. Planning the rooms together can align material selections, plumbing and electrical work, ordering and inspections. We discuss the sequence and access needs when defining the scope.
Can I remain at home during construction?
That depends on the rooms involved, access, utility interruptions and the extent of demolition or structural work. Discuss living arrangements and the availability of kitchens and bathrooms during planning so the construction sequence reflects your needs.
